Passing the Lantern
Inside the Youth Centre Aisha and Jason were sitting at the Ranger table.
"So how's Kimberly holding up?" Aisha asked
"She's doing her gymnastics which I think is mainly a distraction from what happened." Jason said
"So true one question what you said to her does that only apply to her?" Aisha asked
"Nope it applies to all of my friends." Jason said
"Great. Oh I wonder how Adam's doing at his family reunion." Aisha said
"Probably having a blast you know important his family's history is to him." Jason said
Just then Adam walked in and up to Jason and Aisha then sat down.
"Hey guys." Adam said
"Hey where did you get that cool lantern?" Aisha asked
"They presented it to me at the Reunion." Adam said
"So you're a lantern keeper then." Jason said
"Yeah." Adam said
"The torch may light the path but the soul lights the way." Jason read
"Why does that not surprise me you can read Korean?" Aisha asked
"What I was home schooled until I came to Angel Grove." Jason said
"Anyway what does it mean?" Adam asked
"I could tell you but it's your job as a lantern keeper to figure it out." Jason said
"No fair." Aisha said
"Look the power of the lantern is actually represents something else." Jason said
"I'm confused." Adam said
"Trust me it took me awhile to understand what my sensei meant by that." Jason said
"Quoting your sensei." Aisha said
"Yeah." Jason said
The three teens laughed. Meanwhile inside Zedd's Castle
"I'll show you the power of that lantern." Zedd said
"Yes oh wicked husband." Rita said
"Rito, Baboo and Squatt go down there a get that lantern." Zedd said
"Right away Ed." Rito said
"It's Zedd." Zedd said
Meanwhile in the Japanese Garden Jason and Adam were walking along.
"This place is beautiful." Adam said
"Yeah it is. Billy showed it to me." Jason said
"You miss him don't you?" Adam asked
"I miss Trini, Zack and Billy. But Billy and I we really became friends we talked about anything since we both lost our mothers but his died in a car accident." Jason said
"I guess with someone who knows what it's like to lose someone it makes it easier to talk to them." Adam said
"True." Jason said
"So who are we meeting?" Adam asked
"A guy named Ko. If anyone can help you understand your lantern's powers he can." Jason said
The two walked up to the Japanese hut.
"Ko it's good to see you again." Jason said
"It is good to see you too Jason and you must be Adam." Ko said
"Yeah." Adam said
"A very interesting Lantern you have here." Ko said
"Thanks I was wondering if you could help me understand the inscription." Adam said
"The torch may light the path but the soul lights the way." Ko read.
"So what does it mean?" Adam asked
"That sometimes what you believe has power might not always be the case." Ko said
"Huh?" Adam asked
"I'll try and explain later." Jason said
"Oh ok." Adam said
"Well I must get back to tending my garden." Ko said
"Bye Ko." Jason said
Ko then walked off.
"I forgot to mention sometimes the advice Ko gives doesn't make sense until a day or two later." Jason said
"That's good cause' it makes no sense now." Adam said
Just then Rocky, Adam and Aisha were walking up the garden path.
"It's so great your parents allowing Kimberly to work on her garden at your place." Rocky said
"Yeah but with all the time she's doing Gymnastics I just wonder if she'll have enough time to work on it." Tommy said
Just then Bulk and Skull walked up.
"What are you two doing here?" Aisha asked
"We are on patrol." Bulk said
"Ok then." Rocky said
The three teens walked off then up to the Japanese hut.
"Look there they are." Aisha said
"Hey guys." Tommy said
Adam and Jason both waved. Just then Tengas, Rito, Squatt and Baboo showed up.
"Ninja Ranger Power Now." Tommy said
Just then all five teens transformed into Ninjas and started fighting the Tengas.
"What are you two doing go and get the Lantern." Rito said
Squatt and Baboo both walked up to the Japanese hut and started taking the lanterns. Then they walked back down to Rito.
"Easiest fight I was even in. Later." Rito said
Rito, Squatt, Baboo and the Tengas teleported away.
"Power down." Jason said
The Rangers returned to there normal clothes then ran up to the Japanese hut.
"Oh no my Lantern it's gone." Adam said
"We'll get it back." Jason said
"I swore in front of my family that I'll protect it." Adam said
"Adam listen to me like Ko said sometimes the thing we think has power only represents something else." Jason said
"What do you mean?" Adam asked
"What if the lantern has no power but the power lied in something else?" Jason asked
"Come on let's head to the Command Centre." Rocky said
"Just think about what I said ok." Jason said
"OK." Adam said
Meanwhile in the park Bulk and Skull were walking along when a lantern that looked like Adam's landed in front of them.
"Skull, look." Bulk said
"Come you idiots let's go." Rito said
Rito, Squatt and Baboo all teleported away with the lanterns. Bulk and Skull started screaming.
"Why are we screaming?" Bulk asked
"Because evil Alien Monsters are using there Powers right in front of us." Skull said
"Oh." Bulk said
The two then ran off screaming with Adam's lantern. Meanwhile in the Command Centre. All six Rangers were there.
"What would Zedd want with Adam's lantern?" Kimberly asked
"Well according to Adam's Family the lantern had special powers" Jason said
"It appears Zedd must want to tap into the Lantern's Powers." Zordon said
Meanwhile back in Zedd's Castle.
"Why did you bring us so many lanterns?" Zedd asked
"We didn't know which one was the right one." Baboo said
"Well luckily I have a natural talent for sensing extraordinary Powers." Rita said
"That's true you did choose me." Zedd said
"Get real." Rita said
Rita then picked out a lantern.
"Here it is this is the lantern we want." Rita said
"But this one matches the drapes better." Baboo said
"Zip it monkey breath. I know what I'm doing." Rita said
"Very well get rid of this mess." Zedd said
"Now get ready for Lanterra Power brats." Rita said
Meanwhile back in the park Bulk and Skull were walking along holding Adam's lantern.
"A good detective must always check what is in front of him." Skull read
So Bulk and Skull looked in front of them.
"And to each side." Skull read
So the two looked left then right.
"And behind him." Skull read
The two looked behind them and saw Lanterra and ran off dropping Adam's lantern. Just then Adam and Aisha were walking up the path.
"Adam I don't see the point in looking Zordon said he'd contact us if they found anything." Aisha said
"I feel responsible Aisha the whole town could be in danger and it will be my fault." Adam said
"Ok let's keep looking." Aisha said
Just then Bulk and Skull ran down.
"There's a monster in the park." Bulk said
"You saw a monster?" Adam asked
"Run for your lives." Skull said
Bulk and Skull ran off.
"Adam to Command Centre." Adam said
Back at the Command Centre.
"We read you Adam." Jason said
"Do you see anything in the Viewing Globe?" Adam asked
The four Rangers looked and saw the Lanterra monster.
"Aye, aye, aye. A Lanterra monster." Alpha said
"We'll meet you in the park." Jason said
"On it." Adam said
"It's Morphin time." Jason said
"White Falcon." Tommy called
"Pink Crane." Kimberly called
"Blue Wolf." Jason called
"Red Ape." Rocky called
Back in the park.
"Let's head that creep off." Aisha said
"It's Morphin Time." Adam said
"Black Frog." Adam called
"Yellow Bear." Aisha called
Just then the two Rangers flipped over Lanterra and the other rangers showed up.
"Looks like Zedd, has done a number on your Lantern." Jason said
"I know." Adam said
"We have to fight it." Kimberly said
"Come on Rangers what are you scared." Lanterra said
Meanwhile back in Zedd's Castle.
"Yes Adam is too afraid to attack the lantern." Rita said
"Good that means the others won't attack." Zedd said
Meanwhile back in the Park. Lanterra was blasting the Rangers.
"We have to fight." Rocky said
"No we can't." Adam said
"Adam. The sword is only as powerful as the holder." Jason said
"Hold on." Adam thought
(Flashback)
"Look the power of the lantern is actually represents something else." Jason said
"That sometimes what you believe has power might not always be the case." Ko said
(End Flashback)
"That's it the Touch only lights the path but my soul lights the way. The power is inside me not inside the Lantern." Adam said
"Yes you got it." Jason said
"Thanks Jase." Adam said
"Don't celebrate yet Black Ranger." Lanterra said
"Sorry but your about to lose your shine." Adam said
"What?" Lanterra asked
"Frog Axe." Adam said
Just then a Black Axe with a frog insignia on the axe handle appeared and then Adam started to glow Black.
"The lantern is only a symbol of the power I possess." Adam said
Just then Adam charged at Lanterra and turned into a Black Energy Frog and then Struck and destroyed Lanterra.
"Way to go." Rocky said
"Yes he activated the Frog Ninja Strike." Kimberly said
Meanwhile back in Zedd's Castle.
"Come on we need a bigger lantern." Rita said
"Agreed." Zedd said
"Make our monster grow." Zedd and Rita said after crossing staffs.
Back in the park Lanterra grew thirty Stories tall.
"Adam your up." Jason said
"Right. We need Ninja Zord Power Now." Adam said
"Ninja Crane Zord." Kimberly said
"Ninja Wolf Zord." Jason said
"Ninja Frog Zord." Adam said
"Ninja Ape Zord." Rocky said
"Ninja Bear Zord." Aisha said
"Ninja Falcon Zord." Tommy said
Just then the Rangers took off there morphers and shot beams in to the centre of the circle and the Pheados symbol shot straight up and the Ninja Zords showed up then the six Rangers hopped into there Zords.
"We need Ninja Megazord Power now." Adam said
"Ninja Megazord Power up." All Six Rangers said
Just then the Ape, Bear, Wolf, Crane and Frog Zords combined together to create the Ninja Megazord. Just then Ninjor showed up.
"I thought you Rangers could some help." Ninjor said
"You're a dim bulb." Lanterra said
"No one calls me a dim and gets away with it." Ninjor said
Ninjor then changed to battle mode and fired a energy ball at Lanterra.
"Ninja Falcon Megazord Power up." Adam said
Just then the Ninja Megazord and Falcon Zord combined to create the Ninja Falcon Megazord.
"Sky dive Power Punch." Adam said
Just then The Ninja Falcon Megazord skydive power punched Lanterra and destroyed it.
"Great job Adam." Jason said
"Thanks." Adam said
Later at the Youth Centre Kimberly got herself, Rocky and Adam drinks and sat down at there table.
"We are really sorry we destroyed your Lantern." Rocky said
"Don't be after all the power was inside of me." Adam said
"Yeah you proved that." Kimberly said
Just then Tommy, Jason and Aisha walked in followed by Bulk and Skull.
"Hey guys." Aisha said
"Sorry we're late but Bulk and Skull insisted on walking us back." Tommy said
"Yeah they said the walk would be too dangerous." Jason said
"For who?" Rocky asked
"That's what Jason asked." Aisha said
"Anyway we found your Lantern. Bulk said pulling it out from behind his back.
Thanks." Adam said as Bulk handed him the lantern
"Just doing our job." Bulk said
"Now I'm sure two officers of the law can handle walking home alone." Jason said
"Yeah we can." Bulk said
"Sure we can." Skull said
The two ran off and the rangers laughed.
